  1. This information might be helpful to you or others. PCOS has been broken down into 5 basic groups:
    1. traditional PCOS -- anovulatory, increased androgens, no insulin resistance
    2. endocrine syndrome X -- anovulatory, increased androgens, insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes
    3. non-traditional PCOS --anovulatory, normal androgens, obese, insulin resistant or type 2 diabetes
    4. non-traditional PCOS -- ovulatory, increased androgens, mild insulin resistance
    5. idiopathic hirsutism -- ovulatory, increased androgens, no insulin resistance
